Innocence

[Kumoness]

When does a child
Lose his innocence?
Is it caused by the child,
Or those around him?
Is it caused by
The child's first
Broken Promise?
By his first
Disapointment?
Is it caused by
The child's first
Ecncounter with
Evil and Death?
Or is it caused
By the child himself?
His first deceptive act?
His first violent outburst?
His instinct of passoin?
What is the cause
Of innocence lost
To the child?
And when does
Childhood end?

interesting poll question. Personally i think it's the child's first deceptive act to deal with the flaws and attitides of the people around him/her but that's just me.

Some good poetry here; I like how it ended ('And when does childhood end?') The thing that I didnt like was the repetition of the phrase 'the child' over and over. However, it's a fast poem with good rhythm and that makes up for it quite well.

Keep this up though, I would like to see more =)
